Foreign Oil Dependence

FOREIGN OIL DEPENDENCE WHERE DOES OUR OIL COME FROM? The U.S. imported about 45% of crude oil and petroleum products consumed in 2011. Thanks to oil coming from shale formations in North Dakota and Texas, that number is expected to drop. Since 2010, Nigerian imports have decreased by 50%. By 2014, the U.S. is set to decrease imports to 6M barrels per day (bbl/d). This is the lowest level since 1987.
